SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

Well-trained bankers who recognize and stop attempted illegal activity are the first line of defense in protecting a financial institution from fraudsters. Unfortunately, new account personnel are too often trained "on the job," which results in an environment of potential vulnerability and unnecessary losses for the bank.  Additionally, with constant new regulations, ongoing training is paramount to maintain diligence and update processes and procedures.  

This one-day program is the most comprehensive seminar on deposit accounts in the state. The presentation answers many of the complicated questions customers and employees ask. The 200+ page detailed manual, included in the registration and customized to West Virginia state law, has become known as an invaluable resource for banks across the state. These workshops are highly interactive. Come prepared to get your questions answered!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Operations officers, compliance officers, experienced new account representatives, new accounts supervisors, branch managers, trainers, and auditors. Back-office personnel who support the deposit account area will also find this seminar beneficial. At least 85% of this information also impacts the lending area.

WHAT TO BRING

• Signature card and account agreement
• Resolutions for all commercial account types
• Disclosures used at account opening
